        • Very entertaining show, I thank you guys for the enlightenment about the books and show.
          I wouldn't have taken the initiative to watch without all of your informative input.

          My concern is that this show will run it's course before Martin finishes the rest of the books.

            One stark division I've noticed between the Bookies and those who only know GOT from the TV show, and it concerns the Crap CGI Wolves. The book fans seem to have deep emotional connections with them, whereas as far as I'm concerned it wouldn't harm the plot noticeably if they got replaced by Guinea Pigs. I'm guessing their role has been somewhat edited down for TV?
            Yeah. The wolves are super duper awesome in the books. Honestly, I would have kept them as dogs and used cinematic tricks to make them look bigger. They look stupid in the show.
            If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

            • Only two of the wolves are very prominent in the books, so their role hasn't been scaled down that much, to be honest. Mostly just Ghost.

                    Well Summer tends to be important a bit (and interesting name, no?). Grey Wind as well.

                    I think it tends to help book readers have a greater connection to them because:
                    Spoiler:
                    They have a greater connection to the actual Stark children they are given to, esp when the Stark kids learn they can warg into them - even Arya from a continent away

                      If someone is reading a thread titled A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread, how much can they truly be said to care about spoilers?

                      • Usually people who read TV show discussions are particular that book spoilers shouldn't be included. That's usually been the case in this thread as well.

                        • Back to my question, would the 1st 2 seasons blu rays largely catch me up with yall? They way you people have been talking about it makes me interested.

                          • Read the books instead .

                            Cheaper too.

                            • IIRC there's differences between the books and show.

                              • Not super major ones.

                                If you read the books then you can get into more interesting discussions that show watchers haven't even considered .
